This is a must read for all parents as well as young people who have to be aware of the dangers of addiction and the effect it has on themselves and their families.
This is a brave effort from Essam Youssef and proves to be an excellent read. I was touched by the honesty he aproached the most delicate and sensitive issues.
I hope that this book becomes a movie and a TV drama to ensure that the message will reach all those people who don't and won't read. The message here is very important.
Excellent work and thank you for facing this serious problem head on and with a lot of sensitivity and feelings.

In addition to being a good book to read, Rob3 Gram is definitely very informative & beneficial to any one suffering from a similar problem; either by being an addict or knowing/dealing with one. Great work… keep up the inspiration!!
Howayda Abdel Wahab (Egypt) wrote at 3:15am on April 5th, 2008 Just can’t find the words to express my feelings towards this book... I bought it by chance from Diwan. Immediately I started reading it just to check it out, and suddenly I found an hour and a half passed while I was still reading. In 3 days, with non stop talking about it to family, friends & colleagues I finished the book. During those 3 days I was living completely with Salah in mind. Rushing back home after work to go back to Salah’s world. I laughed out loud a lot, and I cried with tears a lot

Iman Hosni (Egypt) wrote at 2:21pm on August 21st, 2008 almost done reading the sufferings of addicts are very true, i like the sequence, well built, with a good base. hats off for you and for the person with a courage to tell the world about his deepest mean and selfish acts, this story unlike anything i ever read or watched, it made me cry several times during the story, it made me shiver and most importantly it made me feel the character and enjoy his good times and suffer for his bad ones. I JUST LOVE IT!
